Marylebone Studios

Marylebone Studios was a British film studio in London.[1] Established in the late 1930s, it had two stages in a converted church hall near the Edgware Road. The studio worked with Hammer Films on films, including the adaptations of the Dick Barton radio show. Production on additional films in the series ceased after the star was killed in a crash. Henry Halsted was the studio's owner and production supervisor.[1] The studio eventually moved into advertisements and documentaries.[1]

The Bespoke Overcoat (1956), which was filmed at the studio,[2] won an Academy Award at the 29th Academy Awards for Best Short Subject (Two-Reel).[3][4]

Nicolas Roeg began his film career at Marylebone Studios as a tea boy before moving up to clapper-loader.[5]
